On this episode of the Words of Rizdom podcast we are joined Nick Leeson. Nick is famously known as the Rogue Trader. With a Hollywood movie made about his trading at Barings Bank. Nick famously ended up bankrupting the oldest bank in the U.K by hiding and holding up to $1 Billion in trading losses. At the height of the frenzy he had 100,000 options contracts and 60,000 futures contracts open. He shares today what led to this happening and the lessons you can take from him when it comes to trading psychology and the mistakes retail traders make. I hope you guys enjoy this incredible episode!
